(under subclass 300) Peptides containing at least half the amino acid residues in sequence of the polypeptide with the structure. [figure]

(1) Note. Physical Properties. Number Residues: 29. Molecular Weight: 3,483. All mammalian glucagons appear to be identical.

(2) Note. Physiological properties: Blood glucose regulatory hormone from the alpha cells of the pancreas.

(3) Note. Synonyms. Proglucagon (69) residues MW8, 137) has been called glicentin. Glucagon, Hyperglycemic-glycosenolytic factor, HG-Factor, HGF

Enteroglycagon is a glucagon like glycogenolytic peptide of intestinal tract and is called gut glucagon or oxyntomodulin.
